Ugh. I've been bloated since the day I found out. Right now I'm about 4.5 weeks. None of my work pants fit. Anyone else experiencing this? I guess I gotta go out and get some elastic pants. Lol.
Target sells Belly Bands. They are bands of material that go around your pants so you can leave them unbuttoned without ppl knowing. Sounds ridiculous, but they are perfect for the first tri, when you aren't ready for maternity pants yet. Also, in my first tri, I wore a lot of dresses. GL
Belly Bands didn't work well for me. My pants kept falling down and the belly band kept riding up. Last time I was miserable using it and rubber bands to make my pants "work". This time I said screw it and just went straight to maternity pants. It's not worth the aggravation and you'll need them soon enough anyway. Demi panels are really nice for the first and second trimester.
I've been wearing loose fitting dresses. I find I'm much more comfortable this way than trying to squeeze into pants. Plus it's summer, and no one has noticed anything odd about my lack of pants at work

Yep lol.
I live in yoga pants now.
I feel bloated as hell, but my pants all still fit. I did have to go up a cup size in bras though....
I've heard good things about Bella Bands, and I just ordered one on Amazon.
I love my Bella Bands. I've been wearing them since last week.
